Our 10 week intermediate to advanced training plans are designed by MPF Coach Ben Nephew. Each training plan is made available upon purchase and can be digitally downloaded as a PDF or e-book. The format is compatible with windows pc or mac computers, iPhone, iPad, android, tablets, kindle, etc.

This is a 10 week Advanced training plan, designed for competitive runners who have experience at the 50 mile distance. This plan can be adapted to a variety of runnable 50 miles with minimal changes (rolling terrain, very runnable climbs, 2 out of 5 technical rating, low altitude, etc.). For example, I ran my 50 mile road PR following a very similar training plan that included more road miles. The target mileage is 60 - 80 mile/weeks. The overall goal is to increase general fitness with an emphasis on trail speed and endurance. The intervals will increase trail speed & efficiency and the long runs will increase trail endurance, making your 50 mile pace goal feel easier. This plan can be adapted by runners who run more than once a day, but the workouts should always be completed in single sessions. Most of the mileage should be on trails, and preferably on terrain similar to your goal race.

This is a 10 week intermediate level training plan that is designed for runners who have experience at the 50k or 50 mile distance and are looking to perform well at the 50 mile distance. Mileage per week will be 50-70. This plan can be adapted to a variety of runnable 50 mile races (rolling terrain, very runnable climbs, 2 out of 5 technical rating, low altitude, etc.). The overall goal is to increase general fitness, endurance and strength out on the trails within 10 weeks. The scheduled long runs and hiking will increase your trail endurance & strength, as the intervals will increase trail speed & efficiency. This plan can be adapted by runners who run more than once a day, but the workouts should always be completed in single sessions. Most of the mileage should be on trails, and preferably on terrain similar to the goal race.
